Couch Co-op performing

I plug it in, I sit down, the game is on

Round 1 · Couch Co-op for Console Couch

  1. Round 1 — Couch Co-op for Console Couch

    Take: “I plug it in, my friends grab a controller, and we're playing while the PC guy is still updating drivers.”

    I plug it in, I sit down, the game is on

    You've been updating drivers since the crack of dawn

    My friends pile on the sofa with a bag of chips

    You're all alone, adjusting shadows with your fingertips

    You own a lit up tower like a carnival ride

    A rainbow in a glass box, and no friends inside

    Your gaming is a spreadsheet, every setting's been assessed

    You spent the weekend benchmarking and played nothing but the test

  2. Round 1 — Frame Rate for PC Master Race

    Take: “Those benchmarks are how I get 240 frames, she plugs it in and sits through a forced update anyway.”

    Yeah I ran the test, and I aced it, read the chart

    Two forty frames a second, call it science, call it art

    You plug it in, sit down, then the screen says please wait

    Forced update, forty gigs, and your friends go home at eight

    One store, one price, you're renting online for a fee

    I got a sale so deep that the game was nearly free

    You call it thirty frames of cinematic, smooth and slow

    That's a slideshow with a health bar and a sofa, bro

  3. Round 2 — Couch Co-op for Console Couch

    Take: “Who cares about 240 frames when you spent all night fixing a crash and your friends went to bed?”

    Two forty frames of what, your black screen of despair?

    You've got the smoothest error message running anywhere

    A hundred games on sale, and you've finished maybe two

    Your backlog has a backlog, and it's got a backlog too

    Forced update, sure, I grab a sandwich while it's done

    You're on page nine of some old forum, asking everyone

    Best machine on the block, and nobody's in the room

    Your only player two's a fan that's going vroom

  4. Round 2 — Frame Rate for PC Master Race

    Take: “My player two is online from anywhere, she pays a subscription just to use her own internet.”

    My player two's on three continents, and he's online

    I don't pay a monthly toll to use a wire that's mine

    Your couch co-op's half a TV and a lap of nacho crumbs

    Your left stick starts to wander every time the boss fight comes

    My backlog is a treasure chest, and mods keep it alive

    I put a talking dragon in a game from ninety-five

    In seven years your locked box is a doorstop with a fan

    Game over, insert money, that's the whole console plan

  5. Round 3 — Couch Co-op for Console Couch

    Take: “Insert money? One graphics card costs more than my console, my TV and the couch I'm sitting on.”

    Insert money, that's real rich from a guy with liquid cooling

    That card cost more than my whole couch, who are you fooling

    My doorstop plays the new game on the day it's out

    You're compiling shaders, that's what your launch night's about

    Three launchers and two logins just to start a single game

    One password reset later and you've forgot the game's name

    All that glow and all that power, twelve buttons on your mouse

    The only boss you fought tonight was the breaker in your house

  6. Round 3 — Frame Rate for PC Master Race

    Take: “Mouse and keyboard beat a thumbstick any day, her aim assist is doing all the work.”

    Twelve buttons on my mouse and every one's a kill

    You need aim assist to hit a barn door standing still

    I tripped a breaker once, that's power, that's the cost

    Your drive fits one big shooter, and the others all get lost

    Three launchers, fine, but every one of them is stacked

    You don't own a thing, your shelf's a license, that's a fact

    Pass that second controller, friend, you'll need it for this fight

    At thirty frames you won't see you lost until tomorrow night
